In the midway of Episode 3, and things recently started to get serious. My thoughts ( SPOILERS AHEAD) :
1. Ushiromiya Battler is a great protag, his mind battles with Beatrice and even himself resulting into an endless suffering for him can be formed as a summary until now. The way he didn't want to believe in the existence of witches but also didn't want to suspect anyone from....
.... the 18 members (his family and servants) is what makes him vulnerable in this game. And now when Beatrice said it in red that " only 18 persons are in Rokkenjima at the moment" will now force him to suspect his loved ones. Even though, after all these disadvantages...
... he's still standing in the battleground and this is what that makes him special. His dynamics with Beatrice has way too much potential to get even better from now.
2. I still don't know what Beatrice actually is. Is she a human, a witch or just an imagination ?? From what I've been able to grasp from the story, she's someone who can surpass any length in order to kill her boredom. She can get irritated easily and despite being a witch...
..... she's very humane. She's evil to the core but I always get the feeling there's some kind of feelings she got in her heart for others. I don't care much about her servants like Goats and Seven sisters, but Ronove look interesting. He's showing a lot of interest towards...
.... the game and Battler. Looking forward to see him more actively in the game.
3. I can go on forever but I want to end this thread so I'll end with the 'Mystery Aspect ' of Umineko. The way this story presents itself can be viewed as a supernatural fantasy but I know the moment I believed in the existence of Beatrice and stopped thinking, there will...
.... be no fun left for me in this game. Until now the three logical terms are : Flip Over The CHESSBOARD, Devil's Proof and Hempel's raven. All three are used by both Battler and Beatrice. Lock room mysteries, checking the alibi of all 18 persons during the time of murder and...
.... and from the evidence and logic, suspecting anyone are the main objectives of this game. It's kinda jarring as some of the crimes are happening in front of my eye with these supernatural fights, but still I've to think about all the crimes in a human way. This can be...
..... headache sometimes fr. Beatrice Epitaph is something I still have to look properly as there's some hidden riddle and meaning to it.
